Roni Horn Butterfly To Oblivion

Published on the occasion of the exhibition ‘Roni Horn: Butterfly to Oblivion’ at the Fondation Vincent van Vogh Arles, this catalogue brings to light the connections and contrasts that occur on both sides when a contemporary artist is presented alongside works by Van Gogh. Horn’s technique of cutting up and reassembling large-format collages and drawings addresses notions of bringing movement and animation to a surface, while her glass sculptures allow the viewer to gaze into the interior of the material and observe its flowing transitions. Presented here are artworks she has produced throughout her 35-year career, including ones rarely shown in public.
